JOSEPH DE ROSE, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.

non-nurirnasnn BOTTLE.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Josurn DE Ross, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Rellable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to non-rellable bottles and more particularly to that class of bottle valves which are spring actuated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bottle valve which, when inserted in the neck of the bottle can only be opened by the pressure of liquid thereupon and therefore cannot be relled by shaking or jarring the bottle.

Another object of the invention is to construct a non-reiillable bottle with a few parts and yet accomplish in an ecient manner the same results as derived from the use of more complicated structures.

By constructing a valve in accordance with the present invention, the several parts will be easily and quickly assembled without the use of tools and thereby rendered very desirable. j

For a full understanding` of the present invention, reference is to be had to the following description and to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the present invention applied to the neck of a bottle; Fig. 2 is a similar view disclosing t-he valve as it appears when liquid is being poured from the bottle; Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the plug or bottle valve; Fig. 4 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 5--5 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 6 6 of Fig. 4.

Throughout the following detail description and on the several figures of the dra-wings, similar parts will be referred to by like reference characters.

Tn carrying out the present invention, the bottle 1 is provided with an abutment or shoulder 2 which is formed at the base of the neck, although the exact location may be varied if desired. 'The shoulder 2 is provided with a tapering opening which is adapted to receive the tapering' terminal 3 of the plug 4. This tapering portion 3 may be ground to form a water-tight joint with the shoulder 2. 1

The plug or body 4 comprises upper and Specicaton of Letters Patent.

lower portions 5 and 6 respectively, said upper portion 5 being provided on its peripheral edge with semi-circular grooves 7 which are adapted to coincide with similarly formed grooves ,7 in the neck of the bottle when the body is in position. Betweenthe terminals of the semi-circular grooves 7 is a longitudinal groove 8 which is prevented from having communication with the grooves 7 by the walls 9. The under surface of the cap or upper portion 5 is provided with a semi-circular groove which is adapted to coincide with a similarly formed groove on the upper face of the lower portion 6, and into this groove is inserted any desirable cementing composition for sealing the two sections together.

The lower portion 6 is cylindrical in shape and has a central reduced portion 10 forming an annular channel for the passage of the liquid thereabout. The grooves 8 which are formed in the upper section 5 are extended to this annular channel 10, whereby communication is obtained between the latter and the mouth of the bottle. On the lower edge of the annular passage 10 and in alinement with the groove 8 is a groove S which extends partially the length of the portion intermediate said groove 10 and the lower edge of the section 6. To obtain communication between the passage 10 and the informed on the upper portion of the section 6.

@n the under' surface of the section 6 is a depending tubular section or spout 12 which has its lower terminal tapered as at 3 for the purpose h'ereinbefore specified. This tubular meinberlZ is provided with a passage-way 13 which opens communication between t-he interior of the bottle and the portion 14 intermediate the 'shoulder 2 and the section 6. After the liquid has passed through the passage 13 into the compartment 14, the path of the fluid is then through the grooves 11, about the annular passage 10 and out the grooves 8.

A spring actuated valve is provided for closing the passage 13, the former comprisment 14 and is provided at its lower terminal withk an opening orV aperture -18 adapted;A loosely receive a stem l9ofa valve 20,said,

valve 20 being of any desirable material and adapted to close the mouth offthcjpassagey 18. The interior of the section 6 is hollow,

as at, 21 into which-proj ects an arm 2-2 detachably 'or otherwise mounted in a groove 23 formed in the journal 15. This arm 22 has secured thereto a spring 24, the free tei'-YW n'iinal Aor-'which is adapted to 'bear on the inclined 4face ofthe recess 25 fori'neduin 'the under' surface ofthe 'cap section 5;
